Create Quick And Easy Shell Napkin Rings

Once I put up the 4th of July decorations everything was looking plain.  But it is still summer.  And shells are a great way to bring summertime in the house.  I have a fun craft to show you.  Create quick and easy shell napkin rings.

I carried out the shell theme by sewing napkins with a shell design and making placemats from drop cloths.  And the vignette on my favorite tray has shells in the tiered tray and flamingos.

Shells and twine for napkin rings

To make the napkin rings, I cut a length of twine in about 12-inch lengths.  I got eight small shells that were similar in size and color.  Hot glue the ends of the twine.  Glue the shell on the twine.

Place mat, napkin and napkin rings

I didn’t do a tutorial on how I made the napkins.  I just cut the fabric the size of a napkin.  Make sure to allow for a narrow hem.  I used a decorative stitch to jazz it up.  I only need four napkins.  The amount of fabric you will need depends on the width of the material.

Tying napkin ring around napkin

The placemats are even easier.  I cut the drop cloth the size of a placemat.  Then I frayed all four sides.  Now, of course, to cut down on the constant fraying dab some fray check on all four corners.   How easy is that?  If you don’t like the frayed look you can always hem the placemats.

So that is my summertime look, decorating with shells.  It’s easy to create quick and easy shell napkin rings.  Along with matching napkins and placemats.

    I love the Beachie look! Might have to make those placemats? The shells in the tier tray are a nice way to tie in the shell napkin rings. 😀👍🇺🇸

    I love anything nautical so this is right up my alley. I like how the shells go with the fish print napkins. It all looks so beachy. Perfect!

    I’m a big fan of coastal decor and I love your napkin rings. Really natural elements and texture are both added with your shell napkin ties. Lovely

    Great idea and we have so many shells that we found on the beach a few months back. I’ve been wondering what we can do with the smaller ones

Welcome Friends!

Hi I’m Debra and I think I’ve finally figured out what I want to do when I grow up! This is quite an accomplishment since I’m not a teenager! From the time I was a little girl, I drew, painted, sewed and built furniture for my precious dolls, and I had great plans to be a commercial artist. I could get totally lost in the magic of creating. I followed my dream and when I was a teenager, I moved to the west coast of Florida and attended Ringling School of Art…but then…as often happens, life had different plans for me. Can you relate to life having other plans or getting in the way?
